every graphics operation that is not
supported by the underlying hardware.

Minerva is a complete, easy to use home automation
suite. It allows you to switch your on lights from
anywhere using a mobile phone or PC, email your
video, check CCTV footage, control your central
heating, and much more. It relies on command line
and can therefore be run from virtually any
platform (smart phone, PDA, laptop, or remote PC)
with identical functionality. The architecture
consists of three parts: input, output, and
process. Each is completely distinct, meaning you
can control any of the house processes from any
supported input conduit such as a Web browser,
remote control, or SMS. Reports or notifications
can be sent to any of the available output conduits.
